Advent calendars - What have you got?

[Feek]

And even less from a well known online retailer who's name rhymes with blamazon

Got 2 of those for the kids, soap & glory for the other half

OcUK don't sell advent calendars so not only can you say Amazon but you can link to it as well.

I know, if I was trying to obscure it I'd have been a bit less obvious

When we were kids, the calendars with chocolate behind each door was a luxery, so we had the plain calendar with just the doors.

As an adult, I have an advent candle with segments 1-24 and you burn off a segment every day.

Calendars are now insane as I have heard about gin calendars and beer calendars. They must cost a bomb! Also, I've heard about Advent boxes and Christmas Eve boxes. What was wrong with getting presents / Christmas stockings on Christmas Day itself like back in our days?

I was in the Wedgwood visitor centre shop last week and hey have an advent calendar for £695. You get a Wedgwood ornament each day. Bargain.

Lilith is 16 months so still very much an excitable puppy toddler thing.

Maddie is 13 and just couldn't give a ****! Lol!

I’m still totally ****** off that, for some inexplicable reason, Smiths stopped selling Cheesy Moments. They were awesome.

Never bothered with one. Don't see the point personally.

I love the idea of a beer advent calendar, but I never like the look of what's on offer. I tend to drink craft IPAs, ales and the like. I don't really like lager. The crafty beer type calendars always seems to have really generic beers in them.

Was also looking for a beer calendar - agree they're usually way overpriced so wouldn't normally bite, but saw this at £30 and thought it was worth a punt: https://www.beer52.com/craftxmasBF
Word on the street is there's a few beers that have been in the recent monthly boxes so might not be worth it if you already to subscribe to their club thing.
